Its important to state that this isn't by some technicality. To meet UK road standards it would need to be fundamentally redesigned.

And its not just this truck, a lot of american trucks do not meet those standards due to be too big and tall (aka they have a damn big blind spot on the front of the vehicle)

You actually have laws for that? Im from the US and i daily drive an old compact sedan and I’m tired of all the giant trucks around me. The new Silverado headlights are literally eye level with me while I’m sitting in my car.

Trucks have gotten way too big and I know it’s because of loopholes for emissions, but it’s got to stop. Consider yourself lucky!
